XVs CL 2016 - Quarter Finals (Rd 20) Dicussion thread

[PowerBug]

So, Berlin v Hastings. My beloved team v my former team. Me v iZander.

Kinda debating whether I should just delete all of iZanders' attempts at naming a team or... :P

Coz I can do that.

Be as dodgy as you like Purps, but remember two things:
1) I've already recorded Hastings side that they have named and
2) Hastings is my former side too so I'd have to side with them in an argument ;)

I'LL DELETE YOU! :P

Besides, only a fool names Jasper Pittard on the bench... are you sure you really wanna back a team that does that?  ;)

When the alternative is the gun that is Jackson Trengove, of course! but obviously iZ is just loopholing Pittard in and will sub off someone when he kills it 8)

The only thing I don't like about that Hurricanes team is that they have The Empty Package in their side. I'd be trading that piece of garbage straight away :D

Good, Good. An easy game  8)

That's what Serbia always says before they lose ;). Think cockiness is why they have never won the Euro Title despite always being the favourite :P.

Looking at the games more in depth:

QF1: Brewers vs Hurricanes
Purps up against his former team and I believe rl mate iZander, bragging rights there! Was a poor week for the Hurricanes last week but they were lucky and played a poor Lions outfit. The Brewers have been claiming underdog status for the last 4 weeks, but maybe this is their year! I will say Hastings will find a win here.

QF2: Eagles vs Polar Bears
Two top Euros sides. Serbia have averaged about 35 points extra per week over the last 4, this will be a classic! Serbia gain Aaron Sandilands this week, what an inclusion that is at this stage of the comp!! Pretty hard not to like the Eagles in this match.

QF3: Magic vs Bashers
These two sides actually met two weeks ago in Group D, with the Magic not taking it seriously as if they anticipated this match, losing by almost 300 points. They'll want to be on their game this week though, no margin for error now. Would be some story if the late inclusion to the competition ended up in the final 4. The dream run for the Magic ends here, Bashers win this one.

QF4: Suns vs Reindeers
Two Worlds heavyweights, Mexico City iirc made every single Worlds Grand Final and are sitting 3rd, meanwhile PNL find themselves 4th in Worlds. In this comp it's Mexico who have averaged about 60 points extra per week on PNL, but will count for nothing if they go down this week. It's going to be a tight one, but I think HP loses both his sides this week, Mexico City win for me.

I can actually see that happening as well :-X.

Ye of little faith PB. I remember a man named Purple77 doubted us as well. Look what happened after he did (We went on a 9 game winning streak since then, and currently 10-1 since that moment). Need to revenge that loss to Mexico, our only blemish in almost 3 months!

Ward isn't doing us any favours.

Meanwhile, I'm currently on track for my highest score of the year (as soon as Gawn gets his Captain bonus) ;)

But I'm only 4 players in :P

They basically tagged trengove, thats how good he is ;)

Surly youd back in Steven to beat Gawn?

Although I'm certain he'll top 168, I still don't have the guts to risk it  :P

[Torpedo10]

Sloaney is scoring so low in BXVs in comparison to SC/DT.  :-\

Seeds injury does help us though.
